I-70 guard fence updates among list of approved February lettings

Guard fence along I-70 in Sherman County.

Updating
guard fence at 10 different locations along I-70 in Sherman County is one of
the projects that was approved in KDOT’s February letting.

This
work will take place roughly between milepost 12 and milepost 17. Projects have
been completed east and west of this section in the last 20 years and guard
fence was upgraded as a result. This project will improve guard fence on the
remaining five-mile section.

The
upgrade will involve constructing a concrete barrier wall to protect a bridge
pier at one location as well as guard fence and grading at the other locations.
Smoky Hill LLC of Salina is the contractor on the $554,000 project.
